How to Avoid Counterfeit, Cheap & Dangerous Supplements:

After decades of experience in military intelligence, the U.S. State Department, U.S. Department of Health & Human Services and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, former Special Agent Gary Collins has a lot of opinions about supplements.

Gary blows the lid off of conventional "wellness" practices, and tells us what to avoid - and what to look for - when buying supplements. {REPLAY: Originally aired as episode 051}

What We Talk About:

- Bad vs. good vitamins and supplements – quickest ways to know

- What to never do when buying supplements

- What's wrong with buying online? – and how to do it right

- Network marketing/MLMs and the wellness world [spoiler alert: he's not a fan]

- Why your local health food store should be your new best friend

- What to look for to know that you're buying the real deal
